Cant have one single discussion without Honda and DSM people bickering can we? Its out of hand godammit. I refuse to go through life bickering about what make is better like my Dad did about Chevy and Ford. He spent his whole life on that debate when we all know now that THEY BOTH SUCK!
Anyways... I guess Majestic Turbo is better because I have to say that.
Carry on.

OK so everyone says T3/T4. I appreciate the info on WHO to go to to get one but doesnt anyone have any input on the Frank series turbos. Basically a bolt on T3/T4 for the Mitsu. The Frank 4 uses a Garrett E60 wheel and a mitsu TD06 turbine wheel in a 20G housing. It uses an upgraded center cartridge to prolong turbo life. The Garrett requires a custom manifold and custom oil/water lines to be made up or bought. Big question is will CMR work with me if the wheels dont work for me. Will he exchange them out like Majestic does to suit my needs.

Even if you go with the Frank you are going to have to modify your exhaust manifold for the external wastegate and you will pobably have an O2 eliminator of some kind built. So why not buy the Manifold for the Garret that has the wastegate flange already and have you O2 eliminator built with the flange for the Garret and go for it. The plumbing should be too dificult. Dont they use soft lines on that installation?

Anyway T3/T4 it is. Seeing as this is my second car bought for only racing. I think I will go with the T3/T4. What wheels is yet to be known. I have no idea on what wheel combo to look at for the Mitsu 2.0L. I guess Ill just have to go talk to Majestic/CMR. The way i see it its personal preferance and Ill probably talk to both.

TealTalon please get some new rims soon those things are a eyesore Anyone on to my point why dont you wait and see how this turbo I just had assembled works out if it makes the HP Im expecting then you will know which route to go if it doesnt then you can work with some other options. This turbo is a little trial and error but hopefully it puts down the numbers to make it worthwhile. With any luck Ill get it together by dyno day and we will give it a try.

Maybe someone knows where I can get the paint removed to just a standard silever or whatever rim color.
As for the turbo its a while down the road before I get one. I need to get all of the supporting parts before I just slap a huge turbo on. There are a couple guys going T3/T4 im waiting on some results from to help me make a decision as well.
/me photoshops his sig. to diferent wheels.

Absolutely the BEST at removing paint...lol. Then again you could take them to a body shop and get them sandblasted. Personally I think black powdercoated with a polished lip would look tight but that would cost $$.
